  • 1.  GODORT PPM Update

    Posted Jun 16, 2010 12:54 PM

    Colleagues,

    Just to touch base prior to the conference on the status of the PPM.

    A lot of energy is going into revisions as we are creating a chapter for Steering, need to revise the communication information with the demise of GODORT-L, sorting out who does what with loading minutes to the site, etc.I appreciate the work from chairs and my committee to get us up-to-date on this project and am very excited to be doing this (yes, I am deranged.)

    Then, true to my goddess of darkness title here at CSUSM, the file disappeared. Completely. Then it reappeared Sunday with very messy stuff going on with the comments and changes unreadable.

    So, I have begun again and will be posting to the wiki in the next few days the pieces for various committees to have by their meetings. As committee chairs, will you alert your committee to review once I have gotten the pieces loaded? (That in itself will be a challenge.)

    I have questions, you have answers. You may have all ready answered even, but I may have lost the answer, so please forgive in advance.

    Current PPM we are using for this revision is at http://wikis.ala.org/godort/index.php/PPM

    I guess ALA Connect comes in handy when computers malfunction. Unless emailed separately, the changes committees suggested are on ALA Connect accessible by the tag GODORT policies and procedures manual (PPM). Thanks for undertaking this massive job and retaining your sanity under duress! Linda connect@ala.org wrote: >
